Identifying influential nodes in complex networks is still an open issue. Although various centralitymeasures have been proposed to address this problem, such as degree, betweenness, and closeness centralities, they all have some limitations. Recently, technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), as a tradeoff between the existing metrics, has beenproposed to rankno...

The hierarchical TOPSIS model used in this article is able to grasp the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judgments and preferences. The use of the hierarchical fuzzy TOPSIS methodology offers a number of benefits: (1) being a systematic model and straight forward one for working on; and (2) capable of capturing human's appraisal of ambiguity wh...

Until the 1980s, companies relied solely on performance appraisal (PA) systems based on traditional cost accounting systems to control, monitor, and improvement of their members. Evaluating and ranking the members performance in organizations are challenging tasks involving several factors. In this study has tried to compare five different methods of PA in Fars province's University of Applied ...

Air pollution has become one of the key environmental concerns in the urban sustainable development. It is important to evaluate the impact of air pollution on socioeconomic development since it is the prerequisite to enforce an effective prevention policy of air pollution. In this paper, we model the impact of air pollution on the urban economic development as a Multiple Criteria Decision Maki...
